Tissue Request

Applying to use tissue from the Bio Bank.

Application

Applicants should submit their request to Professor Rebecca Reynolds, Biobank Manager by emailing R.Reynolds@ed.ac.uk

  1. You will then be sent the Tissue Request Form to complete and sign. Please return both a paper and electronic copy to the Biobank Manager.
  2. Your application will then be assessed by the Biobank Manager, together with advice sought from others when appropriate, all under the guidance of the Edinburgh Reproductive Tissues Biobank Management Group.
  3. Once the BiobankManager / Management Group approve your application, a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) will be sent to you.
  4. Once both parties, (End user and Biobank Manager), have signed the MTA, the Management Group will authorise release of tissue and any required anonymised data to you.

ERTBB tissues are provided on the basis that tissue costs are zero,  whilst costs incurred by ERTBB in performing the collection process and maintaining the bank facilities will be recovered from the end users.  Please discuss these ‘cost recovery’ charges with the Biobank Manager.
